Not to mention Brown Recluse spiders.  Should I repost the pictures of 
Thunder's wound?  He was in a stall the first time we saw him down - we'd 
just brought him in to saddle up to ride.  That, plus the fact that the vets 
don't think that any snake in our area could have caused that much damage, 
is why we believe it was a Brown Recluse bite.  I was phobic about putting 
mine in stalls again for a while after that, but there are dangers 
everywhere.  Of course, we don't have bears or mountain lions here in our 
area.  Yet. That I know of...but there have been rumors of bears about 30 
miles from here.
